Hi Clint, K6LCS

I downloaded from your sat site the following page concerning the ITU
Phonetic Alphabet.

http://web.me.com/clintbradford/Work-Sat/Shack_Aids_files/fsd220.pdf

It is exacly what is recommended by the ARRL Handbook 1991 Chapter Operating
Aids page 37-7
The ARRL Handbook is adding the following ITU recommended phonetics:

A- Alfa ( AL  FAH )
B- Bravo ( BRAH  VOH )
C- Charlie (CHAR LEE or SHAR LEE )
D- Delta (  DELL TAH )
E- Echo ( ECK OH )
F- Foxtrot ( FOX TROT )
G- Golf ( GOLF )
H- Hotell ( HOH TELL )
I- India ( IN DEE AH )
J- Juliet ( JEW LEE ETT )
K- Kilo ( KEY LOH )
L- Lima ( LEE MAH )
M- Mike ( MIKE )
N- November ( NO VEM BER )
O- Oscar ( OSS CAH )
P- Papa ( PAH PAH )
Q- Quebec ( KEH BECK )
R- Romeo ( ROW ME OH )
S- Sierra ( SEE AIR RAH )
T- Tango ( TAN GO )
U- Uniform ( YOU NEE FORM or OO NEE FORM )
V- Victor ( VIK TAH )
W-Whiskey ( WISS KEY )
X- X-Ray ( ECKS RAY
Y- Yankee ( YANG KEY )
Z- Zulu ( ZOO LOO )

NOTE: The BOLFACED sillables are enphasized .The pronunciations shown
in the table were designed for speakers from all international linguages.
The pronunciations given for "Oscar" and "Victor" may seem awkward to
English-speaking people in the US.
